TV, Internet, and Mobile Video Viewing On The Rise

TV, Internet, and Mobile video viewing all saw steady increases from Q2 2008 to Q2 2009, with mobile video gaining the most US viewers with a 70% year-over-year increase. Online video usage also increased significantly, and climbed by 12% between Q2 2008 and Q2 2009. While timeshifted TV also saw noticeable gains, standard TV viewing only saw a .9% growth, with a loss of viewers occurring between Q1 and Q2 2009.

Most channels experienced a fluctuation in average viewing time over the last year. Viewing time for users of in home TV increased slightly overall by 2 hours after a loss of 12 hours from Q1 to Q2 2009. This significant drop is most likely due to seasonal viewing patterns and the cyclical nature of TV programming. Timeshifted TV more or less followed the same trend, as would be expected.

Viewing of video on the Internet was one category that experienced steady growth from 2008 t0 2009, with average viewing time increasing an hour to 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Advertisers Hesitant to Sponser User-Generated Videos

Given the popularity of online video services such as YouTube and Google Videos, one could make the assumption that these services also produce the greatest advertising revenue. The graph below counters this point, revealing that in reality broadcaster networks possess the largest revenue share.


By 2013, US ad-supported online TV revenues are predicted to jump from $448 million in 2008 to $1.45 billion, a total increase of about 224%.


The overall spending in online video advertising is also projected to grow significantly, and by 2013 reach as high as $4.09 billion.


The amount of revenue that TV companies receive in ad revenue is still small in comparison to the funds they pull in through traditional advertising. However, some analysts predict this gap to close in the next few years.

How People Share Online Video

In a world of continuous technological change, the concept of “new” can get old.



That scale of usage would mean online video in the US is now as big as network TV.



The most widely used platform for discovering and viewing video online was YouTube, followed by e-mail, music sites, Yahoo! and news sites.

Eyeballs Are Great, but Revenues Would Be Better

Unsurprisingly, topping the list of video properties are Google sites, which owns YouTube with over 100 million viewers in December 2008. Despite this large statistic, revenue does not equate- short video clips and "untrusted content" videos do not bring in the revenue where as a longer-form trusted video would.



Nonetheless, advertising spending will continue to grow throughout 2013 with a projected $4,600 million spend on online video advertising.

International Online Video Watching

According to a recent eMarketer report, some elements of social media are experiencing rapid growth in other countries, especially online video in Western Europe.

A JupiterResearch study showed that the percentage of UK Internet users watching online video jumped from 8% in 2006 to almost 30% in 2007.


Even more interestingly, a survey by Isobar found that while 90% of the French online audience ages 15 to 49 had seen at least one video ad in May of 2007, about 55% of these people went on to visit the Web site of the brand that was being advertised. About 33% searched online for information about the advertised product, and over 22% requested more information. A whopping 20% of these online video viewers then actually went on to buy the product!

Video Sharing Sites a Hot Topic Entering 2008

According to last week's article in AdWeek, "Study: Traffic to Video Sites Doubles," daily traffic to YouTube and other video sharing web sites has nearly doubled in the past year. Factors attributing to this increase include:
  • Increased broadband penetration
  • The popularity video sharing sites have recently gained in men, younger adults and college graduates
  • More videos are online than ever before
  • 22% of Americans say they shoot their own videos, and 14% post them online (3x increase in less than a year)
While the overall traffic number to video sharing sites is up from 33% to a staggering 48%, other audiences are responding extremely well to the newly-popularized online content. The number of teens visiting video sharing sites has gone up by 160%, while the number of women has increased by 120%. Also, discounting older and younger adults, the number of adults aged 30-49 who visit video sharing site increased by 100% in the past year.

This is great news for skeptics about social media, as is the growing presence of Google Universal Search, which includes click-to-play videos on its first page of natural search content, as well as maps, images, etc. Online video will certainly be one of the hottest topics in online media for 2008.

What Media Resources Are Americans Turning to for 2008 Political Candidate Information?

eMarketer recently reported some interesting news about the 2008 Presidential Campaign. While most Americans still turn to traditional resources such as TV, radio, newspapers, etc. for their information, a growing number of people are turning to the internet, including news video online, online debates and video blogging. The most interesting tidbit of this chart is that the demographic turning to the internet the most seems to be the 65+ age range, which contradicts most internet growth demographic statistics. This demographic turns to online debates more than any other, and also represents a large portion of the news video online viewers.

More people turn to internet for 2008 Presidential Campaign news
In the wake of this information, eMarketer explained, "Although 2008 isn't predicted to be a breakout year for online political ad spending, political information sites look to be a hot draw. Marketers and advertisers considering placements on such sites may want to start looking at their target consumers' political leanings."
